Date range selector

Jones01

Hi,

Is there a way to make the range selector do different steps in the data.

e.g. I want the steps to be weekly or monthly but it always steps for each day.

Thanks

Hi @Jones01 I'd recommend either of these options:

• Use a field for first day of week or first day of month in your range selector card
• Use the dashboard global date picker to filter your dashboard instead

@MichelleH Thanks. So I have a field called Week Start Date in my data which does exactly what it says but the range selector control still shows the dates in between the weeks rather than 52 steps for the year.

am i doing something wrong

@Jones01 I don't have a good dashboard to test this with, but you can try using the Date Ouput Format field in the General properties of this card and format it to month-year by using this format:

MMM-yyyy

Try that and see if it will respond that way you want it to. You'll likely have to do a week number format to get it to go by week if this actually works.

Hope this helps.
